San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) November 09, 2011

San Francisco’s property sales general brokerage, Climb Real Estate Group, is gearing up for Mission Bay’s most anticipated new development community, Nat Bosas Madrone, a 329-unit high-end condo development on the waterfront.

Bosa Development has topped off the 16-story Madrone, which industry observers say is the biggest urban condo project currently under construction in the U.S. The project, which will open in a little less than a year, is counting on a combination of aggressive pricing and historically low interest rates to drive sales. Rates for 30-year fixed mortgages remain below 4.5 percent.

The finishes and amenities at Madrone are very high quality, says Dirk Kinley, Senior Broker Associate who has been actively showing his buyers this new development. With a premier Mission Bay location, excellent pre-construction prices, and historically low rates, Madrone is going to be a great community.” With the office’s close proximity to Mission Bay, Climb Real Estate Group is eagerly anticipating Madrones opening in the summer of 2012.

Sydney, Australia (PRWEB) November 14, 2011

Modern technology has changed the way we communicate, from emails and social networking sites through to SMS, VOIP calls and instant messaging. Always ready to embrace creative solutions to challenges, property investment coach, Rick Otton, is now successfully sharing his knowledge through podcasts.

An increasing number of people are leveraging the power of the i by creating free, downloadable audio sessions tailored for iPod consumption: podcasts. Already podcasts are being used to deliver school lessons, university tutorials, and how tos in many different business segments.

For years I have traveled the world teaching people how to become creative in property investing – how to shift the real estate purchase paradigm, explained Mr Otton. To do this I have traveled extensively teaching students in the USA, UK and Australia about how to become property owners without the involvement of the banks.

While I still conduct live workshops, by creating podcasts I have been able to share my teachings with a much wider audience, without me traveling to them, or them incurring any expense in coming to me, he continued.

As well as his podcasts appearing in iTunes, Mr Otton has launched a website, creativerealestate.com.au, where he adds the recordings of each podcast. On the site as well, it is possible to request the transcripts of the podcasts, for later reference.

The podcasts already loaded to creativerealestate.com.au include:

> Cash Flow Versus Capital

> The Power Of Private Lending

> The Truth About Investing in US Property

> Rent To Own – A Exquisitely Rewarding Property Investing Strategy!

> Change Your Mindset

> Its Not About The House!

To say our podcasts have been successful is understatement. One of our first podcasts, an interview with one of my most successful students, top the iTunes charts within two days, said Otton. This demonstrates two things to me: that podcasts work for educators, and that people are looking for creative property options.

The podcasts are absolutely free, and can be accessed at creativerealestate.com.au

(Vocus/PRWEB) 24 March 2011

The popularity of real estate St. Kitts and interest in the economic citizenship program is resulting in a boom for the Caribbean island by strengthening the local economy.

Although the St Kitts and Nevis economy contracted by about 1.5% in 2010, from a drop in the previous year, due to decreased activity in tourism and construction sector, the countrys economy is expected to recover during the next two years, with a projected GDP growth rate of 0.5% in 2011 and 1.5% in 2012.

The interest in real estate on St. Kitts from foreign investors and the pace of real estate development has increased rapidly in the past four years, and with an increased number of air flights into the islands during the next year, 2011 real estate sales will no doubt help the continued rise.

A Naturally Beautiful Island

There are many reasons why real estate in St. Kitts is so popular for overseas homebuyers. The first is the natural beauty of these tropical islands. Many investors in North America and the UK dream of a holiday home in the sun, where they can relax under sunny skies and listen to the waves crashing on white sand beaches. The particularly cold recent winters in the UK have left even more people longing for an escape to the sunshine. Real estate in St. Kitts gives them a chance to own a little piece of this idyllic climate.

Affordable Home Investment

Another reason for the property boom is that currently prices in St. Kitts are much less expensive than other Caribbean islands. St. Kitts offers the chance to invest in a holiday home for a cheaper price.

The island of St. Kitts attracts many tourists every year, and many investors are taking advantage of this by renting out their holiday home property. They are finding that this is a perfect way to make an income on their real estate investment when not using it themselves.

Citizenship for Sale

Of course, a major draw for many expats looking to move to the Caribbean is the St. Kitts economic citizenship programme. This process allows the foreign investor to acquire St. Kitts citizenship in exchange for a $ 350,000 purchase of a unit in a pre-approved development of real estate in St. Kitts as well as fees of $ 35,000 for the head of the household and $ 15,000 for each dependant family member. The economic citizenship programme also provides the right to live and work in St. Kitts, visa free access to many countries around the world, and several other benefits.

Not only does the economic citizenship programme benefit the foreign investor, it also has a hugely positive impact on St. Kitts. The money invested into real estate and infrastructure will strengthen the local economy. Also, the prospect of attracting wealthy foreign investors who will likely set up businesses on the island because of the relatively relaxed tax laws will create jobs and opportunities for the locals.

Easy Access

Another factor in the increased popularity of St. Kitts as a holiday home destination is the fact that it is easier than ever to travel there thanks to an increase in flights. British Airways has just launched their new Caribbean campaign this week, with increased frequency of flights to St. Kitts and several other destinations such as Barbados, Grenada, and Bermuda. The more flights there are to St. Kitts, the more convenient it is for UK citizens to own a second home there.

The local housing market in St. Kitts is predicted to stay healthy and continue its growth throughout 2011, as the economy recovers from the recession and the strong demand for property remains. Property prices are predicted to rise, so experts are encouraging those who want to find a great deal on a property in St. Kitts to act sooner rather than later.

The gorgeous weather, cheap prices, increased convenience due to more flights, and the appeal of the economic citizenship programme, will only serve to make St. Kitts a more enticing holiday home location in the future.

Irvine, CA (PRWEB) November 14, 2011

As one of the most sought-after real estate trainers in the world, Craig Proctor sat down with the Accredited Income Property Investment Specialist (AIPIS) podcast for a strategy session for up-and-coming real estate agents and investors. Proctors Quantum Leap System shows real estate agents and investors how to create balance while accelerating income as a real estate professional.

One of the problems in this industry is that we get rewarded for bad behavior, said Proctor at the outset of the show. We engage in activities quite often that dont work that well. But every once in a while they do, so we continue to engage in those activities, and it really comes down to not knowing a better way to do it.

Proctors mentions the old practices of cold call prospecting, knocking on doors and spending a fortune on self-image advertising. The host of the AIPIS show asked if there was an ah-ha moment that caused Proctor to search for a better way. Proctor responded that he got tired of rejection, cold-calling and chasing down prospects. I had to figure out a way to get clients to come to me, Proctor said. He said that self-image advertising didnt work, citing failure after much expense and hard work.

Proctor cites the solution as direct response marketing. Instead of talking about me and my designations and how much I wanted a buyer or sellers business, I tried to offer them something that they really wanted. Proctor said that changing his tactics changed his business completely. He had so many people wanting to do business with him that he was able to choose his clients.

He began by running ads in the newspaper offering, for example, trust salesan offer that buyers were probably already looking forwith a phone number that led to a hotline voicemail.

Proctor continued the interview by going into deeper aspects of sales technique. He worked on the theory that anyone will buy a property in any market if its priced correctly. Proctor said the best way to deliver news about new properties is through email, which eliminates the delay that often occurs with television shows or the newspaper. Giving buyers proprietary information and priority accesscreating the sense that buyers are receiving special deals sent especially to themis a key component to his sales process.

Craig Proctor was among the top ten RE/MAX agents worldwide for a decade straight and before age 30 was named the number one RE/MAX agent in the world. He is Founder and CEO of Craig Proctor Productions, an international real estate success coaching organization which has shaped the lives of over 30,000 real estate agents across the globe via Proctors Quantum Leap Real Estate Success System.

Austin, Texas (PRWEB) November 15, 2011

Regent Property Group has released a detailed profile of the Lago Vista community, The Hollows, located a short 30 minutes from Austin, to give prospective home buyers an idea of the lush amenities waiting a short drive from the rush of city life. Northwest Austin shares shoreline with Lago Vista along Lake Travis, where The Hollows development is located. The luxury home community doubles as a secluded homestead for Austinites seeking a peaceful retreat in the hill country and as a vacation spot for city dwellers who want an escape to nature they can reach before dinner time. The master-planned development spans 1,400 acres, and boasts over 18 miles of scenic hiking trails, a marina, a Beach Club, dining and bar-b-que facilities, swimming pools, and an array of private amenities available to property owners.

Brian Talley, the founder of Regent Property Group, is an expert on this hill country resort property, providing video tours and online information for those interested in real estate in beautiful Lago Vista, home to The Hollows community. Set apart from the city, the sense of a small town combined with proximity to Austin and the beauty of the lake, woods, and hills is tough to beat in terms of desirability, said Talley about the communitys draw.

The profile of the community includes detailed information about each amenity, including The Hollows Beach Club, a prime place for relaxing or spending time with friends and family. Active residents can wait until the evening to wind down at the Beach Club, as daytime offers volleyball, swimming, kayaking, boating, fishing, hiking, biking, and a fitness center to keep nature lovers entertained for a lifetime. A large covered marina housing motor boats, jet skiers, and sail boats is also available for property owners to house their water craft, refuel, or have a scenic picnic. Lake Travis has over 60 miles of shoreline to explore, most of which can only be reached by watercraft.

If escaping to a peaceful retreat every day sounds enticing, contact an Austin Realtor to see what Austin lakefront living has to offer.

Sydney, Australia (PRWEB) November 16, 2011

On Saturday morning, Australian time, Queenslands Gold Coast was announced as the successful bidder for the 2018 Commonwealth Games. While local tourism authorities believe the Games will bring social and economic benefits the the area, property investment creative-thinker, Rick Otton, believes the benefits will be more far reaching.

Representatives of the 71 Commonwealth nations met on the Caribbean Island of St Kitts, and after several days of lobbying, the Gold Coast bid triumphed over that of the tsunami ravaged Sri Lankan port of Hambantota.

The bid committee was anxious to bring the Games to the Gold Coast, which has sustained an image-battering following downturns in the tourism and property markets, and an alarming increase in its crime rate.

The Australian Governments Treasurer, Wayne Swan told reporters, Its going to bring jobs, its going to showcase Australia to the world. It makes our economy stronger and more resilient over time.

Implications for Australian Property Investment

The new injection of funding for Commonwealth Games infrastructure will, according to Mr Otton, begin to impact the property market from the get-go.

As tourism in the area slumped, the Gold Coast lost much of its workforce, sometimes whole families, to the mining sector. With the new opportunities for workers that come with the Games, that population will return and, with it, a renewed demand for housing,” said Mr Otton.

He continued, Housing prices in south-east Queensland are at their lowest point for years, and there is little doubt that from now, all the way through to 2018, they will increase in step with the growing demand.

Mr Otton believes that this is the ideal time for those wanting to become involved in Australian property investing, to do so. By using the strategies he teaches, he says the opportunities are there to be seized by just about everyone.

Rick Ottons rent to buy strategies have been embraced by thousands of people around the world, as they give those who may not meet the requirements of the banks the chance to become home owners.

The Commonwealth Games announcement will be a real shot in the arm for property investors in Queensland and bring new confidence to the Gold Coast tourism industry, said Mr Otton.

Singapore (PRWEB) July 28, 2011

Property Buyer spins off home loans consultancy to http://www.SingaporeHomeLoan.net

Property Buyer, a Singapore based property portal is soft launching its revamped site with additional search engine application dedicated to finding real estate properties within Singapore. The company also is transferring its home loan functions to its sister website SingaporeHomeLoan dot net while maintaining a mortgage section at http://www.propertyBuyer.com.sg/mortgage for continuity.

The same team of home loan consultants will continue to service loan inquiries from both websites (the change over will be transparent for users) and will continue to be branded, “Property Buyer Mortgage Consultants,” with expertise on property buying loan consulting activities for high net worth individuals as well as the generic property loan refinancing activities.

This split will allow the two websites to be more focused in developing their own growth path while maintaining a symbiotic inter-dependence on each other as people who need home loans may need to look at properties and vice-versa.

Focus of Singapore Home Loan website

The new focus of SingaporeHomeLoan dot net (Property Buyer Mortgage Consultants) will be around providing better tools and data around loan comparisons to facilitate buyers to make an informed financing decision.

After the re-organization, the brand “Property Buyer Mortgage Consultants” will be used by http://www.SingaporeHomeLoan.net to ensure continuity. Property Buyer is a research focused mortgage consultant that does research into property economics as well as issues and regulations affecting property prices.

Focus of Property Buyer website

Property Buyer website continues to be the flagship website for the company and will continue to have a loans consultancy section within it’s website at Property Buyer Mortgage. The split will enable Property Buyer to break free from having to work around a home loans focus and to concentrate on providing tools, developing products as well as functionality that helps buyers to make the property buying process simpler and less risky. With the re-organization, the website will develop more revenue sources for the website around the property and wealth related segment.

The Managing Director of Property Buyer says, “We are pleased with our increased market presence so far. Currently Propertybuyer.com.sg has a three-month global Alexa traffic rank of 1,091,767. The site is relatively popular among users in the city of Singapore (where it is ranked #4,876). (Alexa, 21st July 2011) The split is more psychological in nature, as it frees up creative space to develop tools, products and services that is relevant to each website’s needs. And therefore we can better meet customers and readers expectations. We can develop more business successes only if and when we provide what the market is looking for.”

About Property Buyer

Property Buyer Mortgage Consultants is a research-focused mortgage advisory that helps property buyers look through hundreds of loan packages to find the best package that fits their financial circumstances, not simply some cheap loan packages. Property Buyer (CoreConcept Systems Pte Ltd) is a registered mortgage broker in Singapore. (Business registration 200618162C) with it’s office at No. 8 Liang Seah Street, #02-01 Liang Seah Court, Singapore 189029. Property buyer is also probably the only mortgage consultant in Singapore that produces research, not simply FAQs.

About the Company

All the websites and brands belong to CoreConcept Systems Pte Ltd. The company is focused on using technology to innovate traditional business segments and to use web technologies to bring to market, products and services. The company’s other divisions provides Search Engine Optimization (both English language as well as Chinese languages), Social media marketing and consulting, management consulting as well as professional career coaching and entrepreneurial start-up programs.

Sydney, Australia (PRWEB) November 02, 2011

Property investment expert, Rick Otton, is known internationally for his creative approach to real estate. Always the innovator, Otton often leaves those involved in traditional property transactions in his wake. In a new, free, podcast, he candidly answers questions about his rent to buy strategies.

Earlier in 2011, Rick Otton launched his creativerealestate.com.au website as a free resource for those looking to discover if there are secrets of real estate investment that dont require bank negotiations, a hefty deposit and impeccable credit record. The no-obligation website uses free podcasts to deliver up-to-the-minute information – a further example of the creative approach Mr Otton takes to business.

In creating his recently released Q&A podcast, he asked the general community to submit their questions about implementing his strategies, and the answers, Rick Ottin says, go a long way to overcoming the mindset barriers that have been, he believes, wrongly instilled in us all.

We received questions from a variety of people, including from real estate agents wanting to understand how to become involved in the growing rent to buy market said Mr Otton.

He continued, In what has been described as a challenging real estate market, the real estate industry is suffering. Learning and embracing new strategies could open up new and lucrative markets for agents.

In the podcast Mr Otton answered questions that got into the nitty-gritty of:

> How his strategies work for all types of property, including houses, commercial and rural

> How it is possible to purchase a house without a huge deposit

> If and how titles are transferred

> How retirees can secure income streams through rent to buy property investing

> Some secrets of real estate investment of which most people are unaware

There is no doubt that rent to buy strategies, for home purchase particularly, are here to stay. said Mr Otton. The fact that this is one of the options offered as answers to a question about home ownership in the 2011 Australian Bureau of Statistics Census form, proves that it has become mainstream.

Austin, TX (PRWEB) November 21, 2011

Southwest Austin offers an eclectic mix of fun, quirky neighborhoods and businesses that give Austin its reputation for being vibrant and unique and this combines with classic and charming subdivisions that offer a quiet respite at the end of the day. Austin real estate experts at Regent Property Group have profiled one of these subdivisions, the Olympic Heights neighborhood, detailing community and property information for prospective home buyers.

Olympic Heights is located on Manchaca, just south of Slaughter Lane. The neighborhood is an affordable and comfortable community, masterfully planned by well-known builder D.R. Horton. Homes range in price from the mid $ 100,000s to just over $ 200,000, and most were built between 2003 and 2008. The majority of Olympic Heights houses feature native stone exteriors that blend seamlessly into the natural Texas landscape.

Enjoying the landscape is easy, as the neighborhood features walking and nature trails, winding streets that end in roundabouts to prevent through traffic, and a peaceful removal from the continuous action of South Austins popular businesses, restaurants, stores and pubs. Homeowners also have access to the pool and clubhouse through the Olympic Heights Homeowners Association.

The new website details other nearby amenities, including the Onion Creek Club, which has a 27-hole golf course, tennis, fitness center, and Junior Olympic size pool. Prospective home buyers also can browse the websites information pages to find the closest grocery stores, restaurants, and schools.

Brian Bailey is a Regent Property Group agent with a thorough knowledge of the Olympic Heights neighborhood, as well as knowledge of the entire southwest Austin community. Todd Glassmaker, a recent client of Brians, said, We could not have picked a more knowledgeable, personable, and professional real estate agent than Brian Bailey. From the beginning, Brian paid very close attention to our personal interests, budgetary concerns, and design preferences. In a very brief timeframe, Brian found us the perfect home in the perfect location. We could not be happier with Brian’s services. We truly feel that Brian is not only the best agent we could find, but is now considered a friend as well.

Fall River, MA (PRWEB) November 20, 2011

The experts at Viveiros Insurance know that renting property is a great way for people to make money, especially those that own homes or buildings in Massachusetts where real estate prices are high. However, the harsh New England winter can present a number of problems for local landlords. Between complications with snow removal and increased fire hazards, the chances are that landlords will have to rely on their Massachusetts property insurance to provide financial protection against potentially costly accidents.

Clearly, the best way for landlords to avoid filing claims on their Massachusetts property insurance is to take steps to prevent accidents from occurring in the first place. In light of the upcoming holiday season, the team at Viveiros Insurance would like to offer the following tips on how local residents who rent out property can protect themselves and their investments throughout the winter:

Be proactive when it comes to snow and ice. Landlords who take the time to put down salt before a storm may help prevent a slip-and-fall accident on the property that could result in a lawsuit. In addition, property owners should remove all snow and ice as soon as possible.
Install indoor sprinkler systems. People who own small and large buildings alike should consider installing sprinkler systems due to the fact that these can significantly reduce the extent of damage from a fire. Christmas trees that are not watered properly, holiday lights and festive candles can all be serious fire hazards.
Have the propertys plumbing systems checked before the cold weather strikes and inform tenants that the heat should be kept on low, even if they travel for extensive periods of time for the holidays. Frozen pipes can lead to costly repairs for landlords.

Many local landlords encountered problems last winter when the state was hit with record amounts of snow. This year, the team at Viveiros Insurance wants individuals who rent out apartments and homes to be prepared with Massachusetts property insurance that they can trust. Whether an incident occurs within a rented unit or outside on the property, a comprehensive insurance policy can provide the protection that landlords need in order to keep money coming in.

About Viveiros Insurance:

Upon opening our doors in 1977, Viveiros Insurance strove to provide value-added services to the local community. Viveiros Insurance is a full service, independent Massachusetts insurance agency. We set ourselves apart from other Massachusetts insurance companies by offering only the highest quality customer service. Our business plan is based upon Strength, Stability & Service we go beyond the standard agencys services to earn your trust and gain a customer for life.

(PRWEB UK) 17 September 2011

Mustapha Njie, CEO of Taf Holdings Company Ltd, has hailed an increase in investors from overseas as a “triumph for the Gambian property market.” Investors are snapping up property for sale in Gambia fast.

The Gambia, a small country on the Western coast of Africa, is a popular holiday destination. Just five hours from the UK, it offers almost constant sunshine, tropical beaches and a relaxing, peaceful environment. Tourists flock to Gambia from the UK, Ireland, America and Europe all year round and so there is a growing demand for rental properties. Gambia properties for sale are also in demand from people looking for a holiday home, setting up a business, or retiring to Gambia.

Investors have discovered that buying property in The Gambia makes sense. The country has a liberal, market led economy and a stable political system. Buying and selling properties in Gambia is fairly straightforward – this is because land and property laws are based on the British model, and so buying property in the Gambia is usually simpler than in many other countries. And, as property is still relatively cheap, investors are achieving high capital growth returns, year on year.

One of the leading real estate developers in The Gambia is Taf Gambian Property, part of Taf Holdings. The CEO, Mustapha Njie, explains; “We have seen a huge growth in demand for property. For many years we have been involved in ‘housing the nation’ by building affordable homes for the people of Gambia. At the same time, we want to attract overseas investors, and so we have developed Brufut Gardens, a large development overlooking the Atlantic Ocean and containing over five hundred modern apartments, houses and villas.”

Property owners are already seeing excellent returns on their investments, yet property prices in The Gambia are still remarkably low.

After years of often heated debate, the Australian governments 18 Clean Energy Future Bills became law after passing through the Senate on November 8. Just how the new Carbon Tax will affect individuals is still being analysed, but Australian property investment creative thinker, Rick Otton, believes new home buyers will bear some of the burden.

The Carbon Tax, which will come into effect on July 1, 2012, imposes a financial impost on the countrys top carbon emitting companies – those whose operating facilities emit over 25,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide. These businesses include those that manufacture key building materials: steel, aluminium and cement.

It would be difficult to believe that those companies who are liable to pay the Carbon Tax will not pass it on by increasing their prices accordingly said Mr Otton. And it is the bank accounts of new home builders and purchasers that will feel the effect.

Rick Otton believes, however, that wherever there are challenges, there are also opportunities to be seized, particularly for property investors who are prepared to think creatively.

Right now, the real estate market is in a state of relative hibernation. As the time draws near for the introduction of the Carbon Tax, the penny will drop that if new home construction costs are to rise, then competition to buy existing homes will increase said Otton. I believe that those who purchase now, particularly if they look at rent to buy opportunities, may be in time to beat a rush for these properties.

Mr Otton is acknowledged internationally as a real estate investment innovator. The strategies he teaches have enabled the often disenfranchised wannabe home buyer – including the self employed and those without a big deposit – to become home owners.

Rent to buy strategies are easy to learn and implement, but the big lenders just dont want you to know about them says Mr Otton. And by using them in the current market, I believe, will open up a whole new world of property investment opportunities.

There is little doubt, says property investment innovator, Rick Otton, that the Australian state of Western Australia is booming — while the rest of the world struggles.

In its report Mining in Australia 2011 to 2026, economic forecaster BIS Shrapnel predicts that annual mining investment in Australia will surpass $ A80 billion by 2015, from projects in the oil and gas, iron ore, coal and copper sectors. Following a pause in investment in 2009/10 — the height of the global financial crisis — it rebounded by 11% in 2010/11 and is forecasted to increase a further 66% by 2015/16.

Such growth in our mining sector has lifted work opportunities across the board for Australians willing to relocate explains Mr Otton. And the associated demand for housing in many areas has become unprecedented.

The more remote mining and oil/gas sites recruit staff on a fly in/fly out (FIFO) basis, and in the case of the West Australian operations, the home base is identified as Perth continued Otton. This has put pressure on both the purchase and rental markets in Perth, but, at the same time, has created attractive opportunities in Australian property investment.

According to property monitor, realestate.com.au, there is a great imbalance in property prices in the vast state of Western Australia, with homes in remote areas like Karratha and Port Hedland fetching way in excess of similar dwellings in major capital cities. In the capital, Perth, the median house price in early 2011 was $ 480,000, but in Karratha and Port Hedland the median prices for the same period were $ 795,000 and $ 750,000 respectively.

There is little doubt that homes in this price range are way out of reach of first home buyers or most singles – if they go down the traditional mortgage path. However, the opportunities for creative property investors are immense in markets such as these says Mr Otton. The rent to buy strategies that I teach are made for just these scenarios.

For over 30 years Rick Ottin has been regarded as an innovator in the property investment industry, in Australia, the US and the UK in particular. He has taught thousands of people, particularly the self-employed and those without a hefty deposit, how to invest in property without the need to approach traditional lenders.

Mr Otton offers many free resources, including ebooks, videos and webinar recordings that teach the rent to buy strategies that allow everyday people to enter dynamic property investment markets like Western Australia.

There are many homes and pieces of real estate property that are being auctioned off because of tax liens. Homes that are being seized because of the owners’ failure to pay their property taxes are becoming more common. If a person reads the paper, watches the nightly news or listens to the radio, he or she will be all too familiar with foreclosures and short sales that are sweeping the nation. Because of the bursting of the housing bubble, a shortage of jobs and underwater mortgages, many homeowners are losing their houses, condominiums or townhouses because they’re unable to pay their bills. Here are some things to think about:

- What exactly is a tax lien? A lien is defined by Dictionary.com as a noun meaning “the legal claim of one person to secure the payment of a debt or the satisfaction of an obligation.” In this case, a homeowner didn’t uphold his or her obligation to pay property taxes, and so the county treasurer made a legal claim to collect it.

- How often are these taxes due? Twice a year, once in the fall and once in the spring. If a house has a mortgage, the mortgage company would collect enough to pay annual payments in incremental portions each month. A mortgage payment is usually considered P.I.T.I. which stands for payment including taxes and insurance. When a person stops paying the lender, the lender stops paying the county treasurer.

- What’s the difference between tax liens and foreclosures? A foreclosure is taken back by the bank for nonpayment of the loan. There have been a record number of foreclosures in recent years and the numbers are still climbing.

- What is a short sale? A short sale is a bit different from either a foreclosure or a home that has fallen behind on tax payments. In a short sale, the homeowner works with a buyer, the bank and a realtor to sell the property for less than is still owed to the bank. Because so many loans have a higher loan balance than what they’re worth, this has become an option for many buyers, sellers, and lenders affected by tax leins.

- What do real estate taxes pay for? When a citizen owns a home, not only does he or she get to enjoy the dwelling, but also the surrounding neighborhood, streets, public schools, libraries and parks. Emergency personnel at the fire station and police department are paid for out of this public fund as well. Road maintenance crews, snow shoveling trucks, and public swimming pools are funded by these fees, too.

- Is there a drawback to buying these distressed properties? There are pros and cons of buying any distressed house, condominium, or townhouse. Some of the pros include that they are often obtained at bargain prices, and it may be a great way to buy one’s first home. Downsides include that the places may need lots of work to make them habitable. As long as a buyer performs inspections of the place and can afford the renovations, it could be a win-win all around — except, of course, for the individuals who lost their home. Hopefully, those former homeowners ended up in a more affordable place to live without all the stress.

Property finding services note that the scramble for Africa has started once again! That is, the scramble for South African coastal real estate. There are many reasons for this beach front property boon and the importance of this phenomenon should be considered carefully by astute international property investors. South African coastal real estate seems to exude a truly unique charm.

South African real estate agents are used to the queries from potential German, English, Dutch and American investors interested in buying beach front property. Germans who have bought here, and there are many of them, will for example tell friends and family of their experiences during a joyful South African holiday, and that will lead to more German interest and eventual coastal real estate buyers. And so too with the English, Dutch and American buyers.

But now there is a new wave of interest. South African property finding services report interest from the Chinese, the Russians and also affluent Africans outside our borders. Is Cape Town becoming known as the African coastal capital?

As stated, foreign property buyers will spread the word among friends and family and so interest will spread along those communication lines about South African property investment opportunities.

Why then this interest in South African coastal real estate?

The same scenario now unfolding in South Africa and more specifically in the Cape Town and Garden Route region, also occurred in Spain and is becoming apparent in Portugal. Breathtaking views, blue oceans and clean beaches in abundance, with property prices way below the overcrowded European counterparts.

Although real estate prices have increased tremendously in recent times, it is still comparatively cheap when compared to coastal property in Europe. With the exchange rate in favor of most foreign visitors, they find their friends’ advice correct in that one can buy a beach front property or apartment at a price not nearly possible abroad.

And according to the property guys, the great buys are not only at the top end of the market. Middle class families can afford to group together in buying South African coastal real estate for many years of happy holiday times. They will find to their amazement that some Hollywood film stars, royals and well known international faces quite often laze away at sidewalk cafe’s and frequent the range of night life venues.

Besides the relatively cheap property prices on the strength of international buying power, there is the amazing experience of many cultures interacting in a laid back manner through the summer holidays. It ensures an air of excitement way beyond the structured holiday style of stagnant destinations.

Seasoned international property owners not only rent their houses and apartments to other visitors coming in droves to enjoy Cape Town and the Garden Route, but they also use their own property as a base during the winter months. During the off-season, they make their way to the inland game reserves and unusual places of beauty like the Great and Small Karoo. Great art and even better music can be found in many locations in and around Cape Town in the Western Cape, but can also unearthed in small towns where eccentric artists and spirited musicians hide away.

With South Africa becoming more and more the port to the business effort into the African continent, South African property is a growing attraction. Business groups that come exploring and want to have a base for both business ventures and recreation in between business dealings, find the investment opportunities tempting and lucrative.

Perhaps you will choose to buy a plot in a security estate with Table Mountain or the Outeniqua Mountains as backdrop in order to build an own-designed house. Or you may opt for a lock up and go luxury apartment in Camps Bay Cape Town or in one of the West Coast’s coastal real estate developments in Langebaan. One thing is sure, though. Once the South African spirit gets to your soul, you will be coming back again. And again…
